Chapter 485 - 485 485 Birthday (1)_1

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Birthday (1)_1 Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Birthday (1)_1 Ruan Wei said, “Xiaoxi, you’re a boy and so tall, you should sit in the back.”

In the third grade, everyone had become aware of the difference between boys and girls, and it was usual for boys to sit with boys and girls with girls. Boys and girls would not sit together.

“No need, I’ll just sit here.” Xiu Xi glanced at him indifferently and sat down next to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked around the class and realized that kids of this age really didn’t sit with the opposite sex, even if there happened to be an odd boy and girl, they wouldn’t sit with each other and would rather be left hanging.

Ruan Jiaojiao wondered if she should go with the flow.

But Xiu Xi didn’t give her the chance. After he sat down, he pulled her down to sit as well.

Ruan Jiaojiao had no choice but to sit down.

Ruan Wei was about to explode with anger. After thinking for a moment, he turned and said, “Then how about this, I’ll switch with you, I’ll sit with my sister, and you can sit with Xu Qi.” Xu Qi was his current desk mate.

Xiu Xi remained motionless, like a mountain.

The students nearby began to tease them, but as soon as the few boys who started it opened their mouths, Xiu Xi’s icy gaze swept over them, and they froze as if petrified, immediately losing their voices.

Then the homeroom teacher and Shu Jiao came in.

Seeing them sitting together, the homeroom teacher was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, “Our class just happens to have one extra boy and one extra girl, why don’t you two split up and each sit with…”

“No!” Xiu Xi rejected without hesitation.

The homeroom teacher, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a big belly, smiled like Ruan Jiaojiao’s third uncle, radiating kindness like a Buddha. He didn’t mind being rejected and simply smiled helplessly.

Shu Jiao, looking serious, called out to Xiu Xi, then turned to the homeroom teacher and said, “They grew up together since they were little and want to sit together, so let’s just let them.”

“Alright.” The homeroom teacher, happy to have such clever students, was more than willing to accommodate Shu Jiao.

So, after jumping into the third grade, Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi were still desk mates, only moving from the third desk to the first desk.

Shu Jiao actually didn’t want Ruan Jiaojiao to sit at the first desk because it meant eating chalk dust, but Ruan Jiaojiao was too young and short, so she had to sit in the first row.

There were only two classes in the afternoon, so Shu Jiao wasn’t in a hurry to get back and decided to spend more than an hour in the teachers’ office at the school, waiting for Ruan Jiaojiao to finish school in the afternoon.

As they left the school gate, they ran into Zhao Li.

Zhao Li, thinking that she should give Shu Jiao and Ruan Jiaojiao some time to bond, had been holding back and hadn’t visited the Ruan Family for a while. She couldn’t resist any longer and decided to come to the school gate to have a look today.

As soon as she saw Ruan Jiaojiao come out, she immediately ran up to her, picked her up, and kissed both of her little cheeks, calling her “my little darling” affectionately, as if she could never dote on her enough.

After quenching her longing for a moment, she then turned to Shu Jiao with a smile and said, “Sister-in-law, what a coincidence, you’re here to pick up Jiaojiao too. I came to pick up my little stinker.”

As soon as Zhao Li finished speaking, her “little stinker” rolled his eyes at her from the side.

She never picked him up from preschool, and now she’s coming to pick him up? Who was she fooling?

Shu Jiao, seeing Lu Zishu’s expressive eye-roll, didn’t expose her and instead invited her, “What a coincidence indeed, it’s still early, why don’t you come over to my place?”

“Yes, yes.” Zhao Li was naturally willing, eagerly nodding her head as if afraid Shu Jiao would change her mind, and she took the lead, holding Ruan Jiaojiao’s hand as they walked ahead.
